We are the chosen ones, we sacrifice our bloodWe kill for honorWe are the holy ones our armor stained with bloodWe killed the dragonIn glory we return, our destination's endWe slayed the dragon!No more living in fear it's time to raise our king.We made it happen we're the chosen ones!

We are the chosen ones, we sacrifice our bloodWe kill for honorWe are the holy ones our armor stained with bloodWe killed the dragonWe're the chosen ones!

Riding through thunder and lighting once againWe slayed the beast we brought an endNow we have left the kingdom of the damnedHeroes of the day, legends forever!

We are the chose ones, we sacrifice our bloodWe kill for honorWe are the holy ones our armor stained with bloodWe killed the dragonWe're the chosen ones!

It seems to me like a journey without endSo many years, too many battlesWe've finally arrived, now we're standing at the gatesHeroes of the day, legends forever

In glory we return, our destination's endWe slayed the dragonNo more living in fear it's time to raise our kingWe made it happen we're the chosen ones!

We are the chosen ones, we sacrifice our bloodWe kill for honorWe are the holy ones our armor stained with bloodWe killed the dragonIn glory we return, our destination's endWe slayed the dragonNo more living in fear it's time to raise our kingWe made it happen we're the chosen ones!

We are the chose ones, we sacrifice our bloodWe kill for honorWe are the holy ones our armor stained with bloodWe killed the dragonNo more living in fear it's time to raise our kingWe made it happen we're the chosen ones!-----------------------------------------------------------

SABATON"Carolean's Prayer"/"Karolinens Bön"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JzL4h1qveLU.........................................Far beyond their nations' bordersThere's an army on the marchFor religion king and gloryIn the name of Christ their enemies chastise

Taking orders from the heavensThrough hostile fire they will marchUnaffected by the volleysFacing death their faith will keep their fear at bay

Into battle facing the fire Lord thy will be doneInto battle walk in a line

See the white in their eyes Caroleans are marching onPut their lives in God's hand for their kingdom and fatherlandSee the white in their eyes Caroleans are marching on

Morale and discipline unites themA common faith to keep them strongAlways on their way to heavenIn the name of Christ their enemies chastise

Into battle facing the fire Lord thy will be doneInto battle walk in a line

See the white in their eyes Caroleans are marching onPut their lives in God's hand for their kingdom and fatherlandSee the white in their eyes Caroleans are marching on

Ahead facing the leadAnd army of Swedes performing God's deedsShowing no fear their judgement is nearMaking their sacrificeWhen then king and his menTheir enemies sight prepare for the fightBanners held high ready to dieHear how they praise the Lord

Into battle facing the fire Lord thy will be doneInto battle walk in a line

See the white in their eyes Caroleans are marching onPut their lives in God's hand for their kingdom and fatherlandSee the white in their eyes Caroleans are marching on

Another chapter of the NIGHTWISH story has ended today. NIGHTWISH and Anette Olzon have decided to part company, in mutual understanding, for the good of all parties involved.

In recent times it has become increasingly obvious that the direction and the needs of the band were in conflict, and this has led to a division from which we cannot recover.

NIGHTWISH has no intention of cancelling any upcoming shows, and as a result we have decided to bring in a substitute vocalist starting in Seattle 1.10.2012. Her name is Floor Jansen from the Netherlands (ex-AFTER FOREVER, REVAMP), and she has graciously stepped in to help us complete the ”Imaginaerum” world tour.

We are all strongly committed to this journey, this vehicle of spirit, and we are sure that this will lead to a brighter future for everyone. We forever remain excited about the adventures to come, and we are extremely proud of the two beautiful albums and the wonderful shows we shared together.
